Rudolph has a slightly shy belly, half bald head, revealing a round and shiny top of his head, a pair of small but shrewd eyes behind a monocle, a typical businessman, but for some reason he looks very haggard, with deep eye sockets The sunken eyes are blue and gray.He watched cautiously behind the door that was only a crack open, and his suspicious eyes swam between me and Kane.

"You, you are not dormitory waiters... who are you!"

Kane cut to the chase: "We want to talk to you about something."

"There's nothing to talk about!" Rudolph said and was about to close the door.

"Hey, wait!" I stuck the sword in the middle of the door, preventing Rudolph from closing the door, "Don't be so indifferent, uncle."

Rudolph couldn't close the door, and said angrily, "I don't know anything and can't say anything, can you please stop bothering me! I was questioned all night by the soldiers yesterday... look at my dark circles!"

Then he emphasized again: "No matter what reason you are curious about this incident, I have no comment. Children can go home and have fun, don't try to learn some brave detectives!"

"What about this?" I took out the silver coin that the big man paid me and held it up in front of Rudolph, "We will buy you a question for 1 silver coin."

A gleam flashed in Rudolph's eyes, and he said vigilantly, "There is only one."

"There's only one." I broke into a smile that I thought was bright and sunny, "So let us go in?" As I spoke, I used my strength to widen the gap with the blade of my sword, and when Rudolph was caught off guard, Squeezing half of my body in, Kane pushed me from behind, and the two of us smoothly opened Rudolph who was stuck behind the door and slid into his room.

"You...you!" Rudolph was furious, turned around and took the crutches to beat us out. Kane stepped up and twisted his wrists to grab the crutches. The subduing process was so easy that I didn't even realize it.

Kane is obviously a magician, so physical skills seem to be pretty good?

I took back the silver coins, and Kane asked me to tie Rudolph into a ball and throw it under the long sofa with the rope bought from the prop store. He found a place on the sofa and sat down, and I walked through the door to him. sit down.

I drew circles on Rudolph's chubby belly with the blade of my sword to scare him, saying, "Hey, what do we ask and what do you say, or we'll poke a small hole in you."

Rudolph flinched and stared at me in fear. I was agitated, and the thief laughed and shook the tip of the sword, making Rudolph howl in fright.

Kane inadvertently walked through the furnishings in the room, his expression grim.

"Your Excellency Rudolph, I have lived in this room before. I remember this place..." Kane pointed to the right side of the desk, "There used to be a human statue of the 'Water Goddess' here, right?"

Rudolph reacted violently when he heard this, and struggled: "Statue? I don't know! There is no statue here. You must have misremembered. I didn't see the statue you mentioned when I moved in."

Kane shot me a look I didn't understand.

He frowned and continued to ask: "The day before yesterday, did the person next door make any movement before he found out that the things were stolen?"

"The day before yesterday? I don't know. I didn't leave the house the day before yesterday. Several waiters in the dormitory can testify." When Rudolph answered this sentence, his tone and emotion were much calmer.

"When did that big man come in? We looked at this floor before we visited you. You are the only guest listed on the top floor. I don't know if you came before him or after him. Which room does he live in? "

Rudolph bowed and changed his posture, avoiding my Jianfeng and said: "I can find out from the supervisor of the dormitory that I came a week earlier than the kid next door. He moved in three days ago, which is the one at the end. There was an accident at noon the day before yesterday. Check out and go."

So I only stayed for three days, and the crime happened at noon?

I found that Rudolph answered fluently and confidently whenever he was asked certain questions, and he also offered ways to verify the truth of his words, so the possibility of lying is unlikely.In contrast, Rudolph's attitude towards the missing statue is too suspicious. I don't believe that Kane will remember it wrong, let alone ask Raul if there is a statue.

"I have one last question, do you know what the guy next door lost?"

Rudolph answered quickly: "I don't know."

Kane was slightly disappointed.

He seemed to have finished asking, and it was my turn to join in the fun. I put the sword back into its sheath and said, "Well... what should I ask?"

Suddenly there was a flash of inspiration.

"How many people live next door? Local tyrants like you usually bring some servants or something. It's a pity not to bring some people to live in such a big house."

I just saw the big bed that can accommodate five or six people and asked jokingly, but I didn't expect Rudolph to stammer: "Yes, yes, I will bring people, but I, I didn't bring them!"

I ignored his unnatural reaction at this time and reminded him: "I'm asking the neighbor."

"Oh... next door." Rudolph gasped, "The guy next door has a pretty black-haired man with him. His facial features are different from ours. He should be from the Eastern Continent. Hehe, in my opinion, that black-haired man Most of the haired men are male slaves smuggled in."

As I went through the information Rudolph provided in my mind, I asked the next question: "Is there anything special about the people next door?"

"Special? I don't know." Rudolph shook his head. "I have traveled around the four continents. Every time I travel to a place, I am very tired. I don't go out except to discuss business."

There is nothing more to ask. I wonder if Raul can fill in the gaps on Rudolph's side. Come on, Winsania.

Let Rudolph go, in case something happens, we fed him a bag of amnesia powder provided by Ibis (mission items cannot be sold, I am very sad), he will forget what we have been here today.

Went down to the first floor to meet with Wen Shania, Wen Shania gave a thumbs up confidently, motioned us to go back to the hotel to talk, the job agency can go in the afternoon (who said Nima dropped in so we went together), so we Back to the hotel before lunch.

As soon as I got back to the hotel, I saw the big fighter doing push-ups outside to exercise his muscles.

"The three of you also went out yesterday, are you investigating the closure of the city?" The big man turned over and whistled to the three of us.

"Yes, we also want to start business quickly." I nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Good luck to you." He leaned down and lost himself in the movement again.

We entered the bedroom next to the counter, closed the door and began to exchange information.

"That's what Raul told me." Windsania was the first to hand over the information.

She raised three fingers: "Three days ago, the big man who lost his things lived in a luxurious room on the highest floor of the dormitory..."

What follows is her retelling Raul's words, discarding unnecessary nonsense and only summarizing the key information. The information that can be obtained is as follows:

First, the big man brought a black-haired man named Abner, which is consistent with what Rudolph said. Abner called the man "Master Harnott", so the big man's name should be Harnott.

Regarding this name, Kane said that the most beloved young son of the overlord of the Western Continent is also called this name, and according to the mayor's words, it should be the same person from the closure of the city.

Second, besides Abner, what Harold brought into the room was a large and beautiful box, but he forbade Raul to touch it.Originally, Wensania thought that the contents of the box were stolen when she heard this, but Raul said that he had secretly opened the box before the incident. The box was not locked, and there was nothing in it.

Even so, we still think that what Harold lost was the contents of the box. It is strange that the box is not locked. There is nothing in it, which means that the contents of the box have been stolen before Raul opened the box after Harold checked the box. Question It was when Harnott had checked the box.

Thirdly, Harnaud would take Abner out every day, and they would not come back until evening no matter what time of day it was.

That is to say, the prisoner has enough time to commit crimes or do tricks in advance.

Fourth, Lauer also said two things that puzzled him, not about Harnott, but about the businessman Rudolph who lived next door.

Contrary to the testimony we heard from Rudolph, Rudolph had a servant named Harvey. When Raul was looking for his lost wallet on the top floor the night before the incident, he heard faint gunshots coming from Rudolph’s room. , Raul thought that Rudolph had male fetishes, and then the next morning, that is, the day of the crime, Rudolph screamed, Raul and the waiter in charge of Rudolph's room wanted to go in to check the situation, but Rudolph from inside Locking the door and refusing, at this moment Harold also came out of the room and asked Raul what the fool next door to the waiter was screaming. Abner followed Abner to go out. Before leaving, Abner reminded Raul not to move the box, but Raul couldn't help it at this time. His original words were "That Harold has such a violent temper, he told me not to move." Move me to the side."

After peeking at the box, Raul tiptoed out of Harnott’s room. As soon as he reached Rudolph’s door, he heard something breaking inside. Raul knocked on the door with another waiter and asked what was wrong. Rudolph said through the door that his servant Harvey smashed the statue next to the desk, and asked the two to get cleaning tools to clean it. After they went, they came back and finally entered Rudolph's room, but Harvey had disappeared. Rudolph said that he drove Harvey away, and the statue of the "Water Goddess" was also broken, and the "remains" were so tragic that the body parts could not be seen.Then Harnott came back at noon and found that something was missing, which led to the closure of the city.

There is a lot of information about the two things about Rudolph, and there are so many complaints about it that it explodes. Whether it is the whereabouts of the servant or the broken statue, it makes people confused. I don’t even want to think about it, and I want to tell Kane and Winsania that I quit, but because they are thinking seriously, I swallow this idea, and instead state my two ideas to them.

"In the first version, Rudolph found out about the valuables in the box and sent Harvey to steal them. On the second night, Raul deliberately made noises to make Raul think that Harvey was having sex in his room. In fact, Harvey had been in the room during the day. Sneak into Harnott's room, and the next morning, Rudolph deliberately screamed to attract everyone's attention, and Harnott also went out of the room. Maybe it was at this time that Harvey stole the contents of the box. After Te left, Raul peeked at the empty box. In order to facilitate Harvey’s escape, Rudolph smashed the statue and let Raul and another waiter go to get the utensils. Harvey absconded with his belongings. Because the city was closed at noon , Harvey is probably no longer in the traveler town."

After finishing this long list, I took a sip of water, I was so fucking tired.

After listening to my reasoning, Kane nodded and shook his head again: "But, that statue is too unnaturally broken, if it's just broken to make a movement, there's no need to break it like that, right?"

I snapped my fingers: "Yes, so, I have another version of...uh, brain supplement."
